It would be a big pickup if they obtained Tarasenko.

Good signing in my opinion.

Viking article predicting big drop off for Thielen
KatsAzz replied to panthers55's topic in Carolina Panthers
Thielen is 33 years old so it will be up to the Panthers offense to determine if his career rebounds or goes south.. -
Panthers-Charlotte current stadium agreement ends.
KatsAzz replied to ladypanther's topic in Carolina Panthers
Hmmm!!! According to that chart Charlotte is bigger than Atlanta and we all know it's a better place to live. -
Will the Panthers or won't they contend for a playoff spot
KatsAzz replied to panthers55's topic in Carolina Panthers
If the Panthers were in any division other than the NFC South I would have to say they would not make the playoffs but since they are in this weak division, I give them at least a 50% chance of making the playoffs. -
I agree. Looks like he has been hitting the weights a lot.

Why Panthers Ikem Ekwonu will be The BEST Tackle in the NFL
KatsAzz replied to shaqattaq's topic in Carolina Panthers
I remember watching the NFL draft and holding my breath just hoping that IKWM Ekwonu would last until the Panthers were on the clock, saying to those present, please don't let another team pick him. It was a pleasant surprise and made my day when he fell to the Panthers. I was overjoyed knowing that the team had finally gotten a top notch offensive tackle that filled a much needed position, one that had been all but vacant for such a long time. -
Looks like the Panthers are making some good moves improving the DL.

Yankees' Domingo Germán throws 24th perfect game in MLB historyIn the span of a few hours, New York Yankees pitchwent from one of the worst stretches of his career to MLB history. The right-hander threw the 24th perfect game in MLB history in an 11-0 Yankees win Wednesday, setting down the moribund Oakland Athletics 27 in a row at a sparsely attended Oakland Coliseum. It is the fourth perfect game in Yankees history, as Germán joins Don Larsen, David Wells and David Cone, giving the franchise the most among MLB teams. The final stat line: nine innings pitched, 0 hits, 0 walks, nine strikeouts, 99 pitches.The feat snaps an 11-year drought since the last perfect game, when Seattle Mariners great Félix Hernández found perfection on Aug. 15, 2012. It was the longest drought since a 13-year span between 1968 (Catfish Hunter) and 1981 (Len Barker). As is true for all perfect games, it wasn't a purely individual feat for Germán, who was helped by defensive plays such as this diving stop in the fifth inning. Of course, the story here is Germán, who was as far away from perfection as nearly any pitcher in MLB over the past couple of months, and was also dealing with a recent family tragedy. After the game, Germán revealed through an interpreter he was pitching only two days after his uncle died. He dedicated the accomplishment to his late family member: Germán was booed by Yankees fans in his previous start Rewind six days, and you'd see Germán walking off the mound at Yankee Stadium, getting heartily booed after allowing 10 runs (eight earned), eight hits and two walks in 3 1/3 innings against the Mariners, increasing his ERA to 5.10. That ERA would've been the sixth-worst in MLB entering Wednesday, had Germán thrown enough innings to qualify. Wednesday was reportedly the first perfect game to ever be thrown after allowing eight earned runs or more in the previous start. The previous game was also Germán's second straight clunker, as he allowed seven earned runs in his previous start against the Boston Red Sox. It had been that kind of season for Germán, who saw similar results in April. His May might've been considered a good stretch, had he not been ejected and suspended 10 games for allegedly violating MLB's foreign substance policy. Germán wasn't even a clear pick for a rotation spot with the Yankees entering this season. He had to battle for the final spot after an up-and-down first six years with the team. His had seen him put together an 18-4 record in 2019, but also post a 5.57 ERA in 2018 and miss the entire 2020 season due to an 81-game domestic violence suspension. Perfect games truly can come from anywhere. For every Sandy Koufax, there's a Philip Humber. Germán's historic night, however, might be the most surprising of them all — unless you consider the caliber of the opponent. Domingo Germán. Perfection. (AP Photo/Godofredo A. Vásquez) Another low for the A's If there's a knock against Germán's feat, it's that it was against the A's, whose status as a major-league team gets more tenuous by the day. Here's a quick explanation of the level of futility Germán was facing. The batting averages of the A's starting lineup through Wednesday: .179, .232, .236, .235, .187, .200, .201, .198, .260. If a pitcher wants a career night, a trip to Oakland is a fine way to start. The team was already the worst in MLB with a historically bad 21-60 record and a minus-223 run differential entering Wednesday. They were already going through a contentious relocation process that will likely see them land in Las Vegas over the next few years. Their attendance was at a historic low after two decades of notoriously low payrolls with only sporadic regular-season success. And now, a perfect game from Germán. You can really only wonder if this is rock-bottom for the A's.

I fully agree that our biggest weakness is offensive line scoring and needs addressed..

Are you buying into the media's narrative that we are third tier
KatsAzz replied to Jmac's topic in Carolina Panthers
I do not pay a lot of attention to the media preseason takes because they base a lot of their input on a teams previous seasons success which changes when the current season begins. -
That would be a great trade if it happens.
-
Horrible news to read about Ryan Mallett. Gone way too soon. Rest in Peace brother.

Considering he has billions, Tepper can easily afford to have a grass field that would be safer for the players. "Grass is a significantly safer surface than turf," JC Tretter, NFLPA president said The association reviewed past data and found that 10 of the previous 11 years showed that the injury rate on synthetic versus natural surfaces was considerably higher.

Miller is young and will have to use better judgement when he considers the type people that he pals around with and be a lot more careful not to frequent places or events where trouble can happen very easy.
-
Fully agree. I can hardly wait to see him play and how he fits in with the team.

Jordan Staal Is Back With The Canes
KatsAzz replied to MillionDollarCam's topic in Carolina Hurricanes
I am glad they signed Jordan Staal but at his age, i am not sure I am happy about the four year contract. -
I agree and it will be proven in time.
-
Time will prove that Brandon Miller was a great pick for the Hornets in the 2023 NBA Draft.
-
Good point.
-
It seems they rated the Panthers the worst team in the NFL's worst division.
-
My only comment pertaining to the inept Matt Rhule is : "good bye, good luck and good riddance".
-
Freddie Andersen is a keeper in my opinion.
